2. probably主要修饰谓语动词,在句子里如果有一个助动词和一个主要动词, probably应紧跟在助动词之后; 如果有两个以上助动词, probably放在第一个助动词之后。句子里如果没有助动词, probably通常放在动词之前。如果主要动词是be, probably应紧跟在be之后。probably有时还可放在句首。
3. probably在句中还可修饰名词、副词、介词短语或连词。
4. probably可和分句替代词not连用构成省略句,而不可用no。

词义辨析

adv. (副词)

probably, maybe, perhaps, possibly

• 这四个词都有“可能,或许”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.probably指“多半”,其可能性超过一半; perhaps和maybe指“或许”,其可能性大致为一半; possibly仅指“也许”“有可能”,其可能性低于一半。例如:
• Probably he will succeed.他很可能会成功。
• Perhaps〔maybe〕 he will succeed.他也许会成功。
• He will possibly succeed.他有可能成功。
• 2.maybe比perhaps更口语化,且要用于句首; perhaps可用于句末、句中、句首; probably多用于句中。
• 3.maybe和possibly可用于礼貌的建议或请求,另三个词无此义。例如:
• Maybe you could move the chair.也许你可以挪动一下那张椅子。
• Could you possibly lend me 1000 yuan ?你能借给我1000元钱吗?

maybe，perhaps，possibly，probably

• 这些副词均有“或许、大概”之意。
• maybe普通用词，美国英语多用，指某事也许如此，含不能确定意味。
• perhaps普通用词，多用于英国，与maybe同义。
• possibly指客观上潜存着发生某种变化的可能。
• probably一般指根据逻辑推理，估计有发生的可能，把握性较大，语气比possibly强。
